Closed Circuit Consultants (software) · Las Vegas, NV
We Build. We Deploy. We Operate.
Scalable software platforms, consulting, staff augmentation, and managed cloud operations. Your cloud, our cloud, any cloud—we've got you covered.
Why Closed Circuit?
AI tools like Cursor and ChatGPT have made it possible for anyone to build software. That's amazing.
But there's a gap between "it works on my machine" and "it works for thousands of users."
We bridge that gap.
You bring the vision. We bring the experience to make it real.

Who we are
Engineers. Security in the work.
Sean O'Dea
Principal engineer / fractional CTO · CISSP, GPEN
Takes over production systems and keeps them shipping. Kaseya chief architect. Parlement CTO (16 million users). Built the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) mortgage application and mortgage servicing application, and now leads that mortgage application's upgrade from .NET Framework 4 to .NET 10. The leftover-debug-route case study is his. LinkedIn.
Benjamin R.
Security operations · CISSP, GPEN (Honors)
Ran SecOps at a public company. Same Kaseya and Public Consulting Group years as Sean — NIST 800-53, CMS, IV&V on large state systems. Bug-bounty response, vuln SLA, secure SDLC. Not a boutique pentest practice. The security half of a development shop.
Three companies. Do not mix them up.
Closed Circuit Consultants is the services firm. SOC LLC doing business as Closed Circuit Consultants. Las Vegas, NV, and remote across the US. This website is that firm.
Closed Circuit Inc (closedcircuit.io) builds CC Community and CC Encode. Intent Media Group Inc operates GunClub.social. Software-On-Demand on this site is consulting delivery — we build in your repo — not those products.

FAQ
Common Questions
What kind of companies do you work with? +
We work with startups building their first MVP, growing companies that need to scale their infrastructure, and established businesses modernizing their tech stack or integrating AI. Our clients range from solo founders to Series B startups to enterprise teams. The common thread: they're building software and need expert help to do it right.
How is Closed Circuit different from other consulting firms? +
We're builders first. We use the same AI-powered development tools our clients use: Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT. The difference is 20+ years of production experience knowing what to build, how to scale it, and how to keep it secure. We give honest assessments, not upsells. If you don't need us, we'll tell you.
Do you work with vibe-coded projects? +
Absolutely. Many of our clients built their initial product using AI tools and need help taking it from "works on my machine" to production-ready. We audit vibe-coded projects for security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, and architectural issues, then fix them systematically. No judgment, just practical improvements.
What does a typical engagement look like? +
It starts with a conversation about your project and goals. From there, we propose a scope: it might be a focused code audit, a fractional CTO arrangement, a full development sprint, or an AI readiness assessment. Engagements range from one-week sprints to ongoing retainers. We're flexible because every project is different.
